Snap peas (or snow peas, if you prefer) and red and white radishes make this a colorful dish that’s also full of crisp-tender texture. With mustard seeds for savoriness and orange for brightness and acidity, plus the sweetness of the peas and the pepperiness of the radishes, this easy-to-make side features layers of complexity. Radishes vary greatly in size, so cutting them into evenly sized wedges helps them cook evenly. Smaller radishes may only require quartering, while larger ones may need to be cut into eighths.

Tip

Don’t stir the vegetables too often during the first 3 minutes of cooking. Each time the lid is removed, heat escapes, which slows down the cooking.

Not the way to cook radishes and peas
Cooking radishes and peas in water for 5 min will overcook the peas and keep unpleasant smell of the radishes. Instead sauté the radishes in butter and blanch the peas briefly. This way the salad will not become inedible stinky mash
